PS2 keyboard on CD32 riser card, am i doing something stupid?

[trixster]

I bought an HP one that is 50ma, my previous dell one that became unresponsive after a while is 75ma, so maybe that was the problem - too much power draw

Partially. The big caps for power are replaced (they were bloated) and some of the smd's. I'd prefer a pro finish recapping it but didn't get round to it yet.

I'll give a shot to a lower-amp one. Thanks.

I have the same problem: Kipper's riser, TF360 and locked keyboard problem. Mine is Labtec Standard Keyboard Plus, it draws 50 mA and still locks. I think, the only solution is to remove PIC and then connect A3000/4000 keyboard.

The kipper2k riser is ridiculous picky with keyboard. I had a painful time fiddling with this .. not even the original IMB PS/2 keyboard is compatible which it should be since it and the IBM PS2 Computer set the PS/2 standard in 1987

There are thankfully products on the market this year that help avoid fighting with the Kipper2k riser and old PS/2 keyboards, all modern USB HID solutions so will probably handle nearly all the keyboards you throw at them.

That Sordan CD32 riser is shockingly expensive

I don’t think Sordan’s price is that unreasonable to be fair, I noticed a builder of TF products successfully sold a Terriblefire USB Riser last week for 150€, now I thought that was quite steep.

Edu Arana also made a final edition Hefesto USB Riser in recent months for 45,00€, but he notoriously only does very small production runs, his products sometimes don’t return for months, and sometimes not at all.

Did it occur to anyone that all he gets from the keyboard is?
